If you want everyone to come up to you at the end of the night tell you that they had the time of their life at your wedding, then we have lots to talk about. Parties like these don't just happen on their own, it will take a lot of work. Together we can plan the most exceptional, moment searing timeline that just flows and works perfectly.

There is a big difference between someone who comes and just plays music and a DJ whose talent facilitates all of the ideas, moods, themes and requests and options and helps you organize it into the most amazing party everyone has ever been to!

Discounts for Friday and Sunday Weddings!

FUN!!

If everyone is having fun, you're having fun. I want every guest at your wedding to hear music that they enjoy and feel like they are included in the festivities. From your godson to your grandmother, I make sure that we visit music over many decades so that no one feels left out. Getting everyone out of their seat and enjoying themselves mean playing the right music at the right time, in the right order.

FRESH!!
My motto is “Elegance with an Edge!” I like to present a very modern and stylish atmosphere when I DJ, meaning that my equipment looks great and sounds awesome too. It also means that unless you tell me otherwise, we leave some of the more corny songs on the shelf.

I like to bring a little “Downtown” flavor to the party.. meaning that I blend the blend the ending of one song into the beginning of another so there's a seamless transition between songs.. it keeps 'em moving.

By the time your wedding date arrives, we are going to have LOTS of good ideas on how to create some fond memories for your guests.
FLOWING!!
Keeping things moving isn’t an easy task… My goal with every event is to have it come off as if it had been rehearsed 100 times, even though in most cases there was no practice at all! Transitioning from things like first dances to dinner to cake cutting should feel smooth, just like the transitions between songs!

There are a lot of angles to consider when putting together an agenda for your party. We'll work together to come up with a plan that makes the most sense, keeps things moving and we get the most out of all of your ideas.

FLEXIBLE!!
Every wedding is different and there are lots of ways to make your party one of a kind that no one forgets! I am always looking for an opportunity to create a warm, lasting memory for you and your guests. I've got lots of experience helping couples put together an idea from scratch.

I'm responsive and easy to get in touch with. Do you have a problem? I'm eager to help you anytime you need it.
Superior Customer Service
If it’s one thing I believe in, it’s good customer service. That mean promising little and delivering much. It means quick responses to your phone calls, texts and emails. It means doing whatever it takes to make sure that everything runs and operates smoothly on your wedding day! I plan ahead and am happy to share all my knowledge and experience with you so you can make the best decisions for your wedding.
I ~LOVE~ what we do!
I am the luckiest person in the world… I never have a bad day at work! I really enjoy being a part of a happy couple’s special day. I love seeing their ideas come to life and nothing is better than the energy of a room full of people cheering for a bride and groom as they enter the room during introductions. I'm always looking for an opportunity to create a memory for someone. There’s a lot of satisfaction in taking all that I’ve learned about the newlyweds and their families over the months and putting all of that data that together in the form of music for them and their guests. It’s audible art!

Quality Sound and Appearance
Presentation is everything. Our DJ and Photo Booth packages look professional, clean and are designed to compliment all the hard work you've put into your room decor. I take a lot of pride in equipment and sound quality as well, so the music is going to sound awesome throughout the night and no one will complain the next day that their ears hurt.

REVIEWS

Joel is AMAZING! I'm very particular about music so picking a DJ was nerve-racking for us, and Joel did not disappoint!!! He kept the dance floor PACKED the entire night, while catering to all guests' music preferences. He also got to know my husband and I, and he really reflected our tastes the whole day. We got so many compliments not only on the music during the dance portion, but also on the cocktail/dinner music as well! Joel also had great advice for us any time we had questions. He definitely gave some great feedback to us for any ideas we had but also never did anything we didn't want. We also lost a close family member a month before our wedding, and Joel was so sensitive to our situation-he ended up volunteering to make a slide-show for us to show, which turned out amazing. Many people have told us that our wedding was the best they've been to and a lot of those accolades belong to Joel!
We also got our photo booth through Joel, and that turned out great, too! A lot of fun and everyone really liked it!!!

When we first met Joel, the reviews he has received do not do him justice. Throughout the entire process of planning the music for the wedding and reception he was beyond excellent. He made sure to take care to make sure he delivered a product that was exactly what we wanted and more. The meetings we had with Joel were beyond easy to schedule, he was incredibly flexible. I do not know how he is able to manage all his clients so easily especially with our wedding right in the middle of the wedding season. The special touches he put into the performance were remarkable, having a portal to put our guests and our own requests made for a great way to for Joel to get a feel of what we were looking for. With our ceremony our officiant ended up arriving late but Joel was incredibly cool under the collar and went with the flow. It helped tremendously in calming our nerves knowing that he was not phased at all. The 5/5 we gave him will not do him justice. There is a reason he is Chicago's best DJ.

Conquest Entertainment and Joel Quest are amazing!!! When we were planning our daughter's wedding, it was one of my highest priorities that the DJ we hired be top notch and Conquest Entertainment came through and even exceeded my expectations. We have all been to those weddings, the ones where the crowd isn't moving and the DJ can't get them engaged. Right from the start Joel got the guests involved by sending a link to the bride and groom to share with their friends and family to request songs. We had a great time guessing who requested which songs. My daughter and her fiancé met with Joel several times to review the song mix and order of events for the evening. We knew going into the reception that Joel had everything under control and we could relax and know that nothing would get overlooked or forgotten. The entire night was seamless as Joel coordinated with the photographers and videographers to be sure that they knew before he announced the speakers, garter and bouquet toss, etc... so they would be ready. Absolutely nothing was overlooked. I knew how important a quality DJ was to the success of the event, I just didn't know how important was for peace of mind on the day to know you have hired someone you have confidence in and can turn it over to. Thank you Joel Quest for a superior job!!!!

From the time we first talked to Joel on the phone he was very professional and responsive. He was able to meet with us right down the street from our house and made it very easy for us since we live in the city and don’t have a car. We sat and talked for almost 2 hours because the more we talked, the more awesome ideas we all came up with for our ceremony and our introductions.

We were in constant contact with Joel throughout our planning process and he helped us every step of the way, even giving us some angles we hadn’t considered. In the end, we had a beautiful flawless ceremony, exactly like we wanted!
During the reception, the music was perfect. Everyone kept complimenting us on the music all night and my mom was especially happy that he played some extra Beatles for her. My dad and I had a special dance that was created by Joel for us that started out with a slow song and then jumped to a few of our favorite songs we listened to while I was growing up like Elvis, Madonna, Vanilla Ice and some others. Afterwards we invited everyone to join us on the dancefloor and it stayed packed all night. We didn’t give Joel a big list of songs because we trusted his judgment. He took requests and everyone was thrilled!

The end of the night was great too. Joel had some suggestions on how to end the night and we chose a couple songs that we used to always hear in the bars in college and everyone there joined in. It was perfect. The only issue we had was so many people stayed till the end of the night that we didn’t have enough room on the shuttle bus and they had to come back for the rest of us!

My wife and I would recommend Joel to anyone we know planning a wedding. He’s punctual, efficient passionate and professional and the best vendor we worked with.

Joel had a really great idea of what would work well with the guests and provided his thoughts on our ideas. When some songs may not have worked well he would let us know and we would pick another song. Everything turned out great and he helped us when we didn't have all the answers. He was flexible too as we wanted to add a singer the night before the ceremony and was able to get that in with no issues at all. His equipment was great, the sound of the music and the lights for the dance floor. Never had an issue. Excellent service.

Joel is a fantastic DJ! So easy to work with, I didn't have to worry about anything. If he doesn't know about a particular artist or music genre, he is more than willing to look it up. Definitely knows how to work with the flow of a crowd and get everyone moving. I would 100% hire him again and recommend him to everyone.

Joel was perfect. He helped us with the details that we did not even think about. Great with keeping the party going and watching the crowds respond. We liked that he met with us in person and wanted to know what we liked and didn't like. He played our music and what people wanted to hear. Our families have not stopped talking about Joel. Can't wait to see him again, hopefully someone in our family is getting married soon. Thanks for everything.

We were very impressed with the quality of the service provided by Joel Quest - owner of Conquest Entertainment. We found Joel by googling "same sex wedding dj naperville" and were impressed he has a micropage on his website for same sex couples. BIG thumbs up with that. We quickly arranged a meeting with Joel (he was super responsive and flexible to meet) and were immediately impressed with his enthusiasm, honesty, and genuineness at the initial meeting. He had outstanding ideas and suggestions and didn't pressure us at all to book with him - in fact, after hearing we were talking with him first, he encouraged us to talk with other DJ vendors (which we didn't because we were so impressed with him).

Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Joel was great to work with via email. He also came to our reception location (Maggiano's Naperville) with us a few weeks in advance to make final arrangements with us and Maggiano's.

The night of our reception was outstanding. Joel played excellent music (much of it what we pre-selected) and had good interaction with the guests - he was so professional - and it showed! He had an incredible set up that looked great and really set a tone for the quality of his service.

Additionally, we got a photobooth through Conquest - one word - AWESOME! Our guests had a blast - taking tons of pictures. The dedicated photobooth attendant did a great job helping everyone and getting our pictures into our scrapbook. The value of having the DJ and photobooth service from one vendor was great!

Finally, Joel was so nice that night - I was very hot from being in my tux and dancing like crazy - so he brought in a fan for me to help me quickly cool off! What outstanding service!

Don't hesitate to book Conquest Entertainment - we are so very happy we did!
